1939 Start Fixed

Potential errors
Your 3 mods seem to be producing a lot of errors. Are you aware of this? If you use the -debug command in the Steam launch options, the game starts throwing out errors in Notepad. Also, when I use the Paradoxos Mod Manager to check mod compatibility, it says two of your mods conflict. Two of the mods edit the same file.

Thanks for the tip, the reported errors have been fixed for 1.9.
I know of 1 particular conflict, both 1939fixed na SU+ mods overwrite soviet history file, however because of their names, the game correctly uses the SU+ file version in case both mods run.

Something I noticed with the vanilla game is the Siegfried Line (Westwall) does not extend north far enough.

Also, a big problem I noticed with the vanilla 1939 startdate is that a lot of Focuses that should already be completed are not. And this really screws up the flow of the game. Does this mod fix that problem?

You can figure out what Focuses should be completed already by looking at the AI_Strategy_Plans folder.

1939 Start Fixed mod conflicts with Soviet Union Vanilla+ mod. Detected using the Paradoxos Mod Manager.

Soviet Union Vanilla+ :
history\countries\SOV - Soviet union.txt

So now my question is, what should the load order be? Paradoxos Mod Manager allows you to decide load order.

Can you make USSR stop sending Volunteers to China countries? They send 12-16 Divisions to Volunteer in China. Totally unhistorical and wrong.

The Spanish Focus "National Recovery" should already be completed in the 1939 startdate. According to the historical strategy plan file. I think.

Something I noticed with the vanilla game is the Siegfried Line (Westwall) does not extend north far enough.

Since I use this mod, Germany is not invading Norway.

Italy randomly declared war on Yugoslavia in my game in August 20 1940. On historical mode.

I tag switched to Italy and they were doing the Focus 'Prospect For Oil' in August 1940. Which is wrong based on the Historical Strategy Plan. It look like Italy AI skipped many Focus it suppose to do.

Tag switched to Greece in August 1940 and look like the AI chose the wrong Focuses. They picked 'Utilize Our Strengths' instead of 'Force the Farmers into Factories'.

Germany only has 8 submarines in late February 1941. That doesn't seem right.

Sorry I missed your comments there. I never had to change the order. Soviet is loaded after 1939 and that's how it's supposed to be, only file conflicting being Country History.

Some notes: The 1936 and 1939 AI uses the same strategy plan, however in 1939 start the focuses generally don't correspond to that historical plan. Sometimes historical path isn't even fully possible. However I've added some modified plans to acount for that (so that wars start correctly at the very least)
Also this mod doesn't try to force AI into being historical, just the starting conditions and first months/year. I kept Italy attacking Yugo in case Germany fails to beat France, so that Italy joins Axis and helps them. Better than stalemate and 2 front war against Soviets, in my opinion.

Next:
There is a mod that makes the Maginot/Italian defense lines historical (maybe Siegfriend line as well), forgot the name though.
I did not observe any issues with Norway, maybe they just invade it later.

I haven't played the Bosphorus DLC much, in fact I disable it for historical games, there are so many ahistorical wargoal focuses even in the democratic trees, AI is randomly picking wrong paths, and Turkey just straight up joins the allies in 1942/3 in historical games, and it's not even fixable without changing the focus tree itself.

How can I change it so Italy doesn't declare war on Yugoslavia?

I found a mod called Real Maginot Line. It doesn't add any Forts in Italy though.

I've altered the AI, Italy leaves Yugo alone now.

Question, do your mods work with the Bugfix mod by Mefisto1029?
KubiG  [developer] 21 Oct, 2023 @ 7:33am 
I'm almost certain you can't.

Shouldn't Japan's air wings have experience in 1939? Also for some reason in my Japan 1939 game they still have Superior Technology focus.
Riekopo 18 Feb, 2024 @ 9:59pm 
It's July 1940 in my game and France/Norway/Belgium/Netherlands are still unconquered by Germany. Germany has no troops in Norway. Netherlands is still neutral and not in the Allies and so hasn't been invaded. This means Germany is grinding against the Maginot Line. France is unconquered.

Mods used: 1939 Fixed and Improved AI Research.
